  4. EHR Is Here to Stay • More efficient care • Lower cost care • Better quality care • Medicare / Medicaid incentive American Recovery and Reinvestment Act 2009 Jha N Engl J Med. 2009 Chaudhry Ann Intern Med 2006

  5. AAMC aamc.org/initiatives/msop/ Learning Objectives for Medical Student Education Communicate effectively, both orally and in writing, with patients, patients’ families, colleagues, and others with whom physicians must exchange information in carrying out their responsibilities

  6. LCME https://www.lcme.org/publications/2015-16-functions-and-structure-with-appendix.pdf • ED-23 • Medical students receive instruction in … communication skills before engaging in patient care activities. • ED-19 • The curriculum of a medical education program must include specific instruction in communication skills as they relate to physician responsibilities, including communication with patients and their families, colleagues, and other health professionals

  7. Alliance for Clinical Education • Document • Write orders • Use decision aids (UpToDate) • Schools should set EHR competencies Hammoud, Teach Learn Med. 2012

  8. Background • Students must learn to use EHR • Few curricula specifically address EHR • Pre-clinical or clinical • Many institutions limit student access to EHR

  9. Legal Challenges • Medical Student notes are discoverable • Nothing can be deleted • “Safest” approach is no med student access Gliatto, Mt Sinai J Med. 2009 AAMC.ORG

  10. Billing Challenges • Medicare accepts students’: • ROS, PMH, PSH, FH, Social • All other info must be re-documented • Role as “scribes” is controversial Gliatto, Mt Sinai J Med. 2009 AAMC.ORG

  11. Educational Challenges • EHR alters traditional learning model • Students participate in less data synthesis • Attendings rapidly obtain info • Less reliance on residents and students • Deprives students hearing attending questions Schenarts, J Surg Educ. 2012

  12. Educational Challenges • Radiology reports readily available • Auto-fill decreases individual item review • Order sets Schenarts, J Surg Educ. 2012

  13. Educational Challenges • Miss out on patient interactions and exam • Overly reliant on EHR • Rounds conducted at serial computers • Group discussions limited Verghese, N Engl J Med. 2008

  14. Educational Challenges • Distracted from teaching (65.1%) • Teaching less (62.3%) • Most enthusiastic teachers most affected Spencer, Teach Learn Med. 2012

  15. Student Perspective • Easier to find information • Ask questions based on prompts • Otherwise would not • More feedback on notes • Less time looking at patients Rouf BMC Med Educ. 2008

  16. Student Perspective • 95% (113/119) copy their own notes • 90%: copying from others’ notes unacceptable • 43% documented signed in under attending Heiman, Teach Learn Med. 2014

  17. Frontiers • Electronic patient interactions • Creating effective templates • Link to on-line educational resources • Self-directed just-in-time learning

  18. Frontiers Best-practices and guidelines Risk modeling Pharmacy resources Clinical calculators

  19. Frontiers Community Health Initiative of Geisinger Health System • MyCodeTM • 50,000 enrolled since October, 2013 • Applied wherever possible • “Actionable” mutations

  20. Pre-Clinical Training • Familiarize with common facets • Get beyond “document and communicate” • Optimize linked resources • Create and expand order sets • Create next generation EHR

  21. Simulated Medical Record • Can create patients of varying complexities • Students confront the challenges of the EHR • Safe environment • “Epic Train” Milano, Academic Medicine 2014

  22. Simulated Medical Record • Create scenarios for management • Provide ED notes • Import CT scans • Labs • History

  23. Simulated Medical Record • Independent exploration of record • Some data can be hidden (scanned EKG) • Students then write H&P • Activate appropriate order sets • Can intentionally leave gaps for them to fill Milano, Academic Medicine 2014

  24. Simulated Medical Record • Targeted learning • Patients created to meet specific goals • System based practice • Practice based learning

  25. Simulated Medical Record • Improve retention and participation • Preserves clinical time Consorti, Comput Educ. 2012

  26. Simulated Medical Record • Can be time consuming to create • Average 16 months in one study • Costly, in some settings • Up to $10,000 Bloice BMC Med Inform Decis Mak. 2013

  27. Recommendations • Select patients not to review before rounds • Guide students to access EHR adjuncts • Collaborate with other departments to create simulated patients

  28. Recommendations • Computers in OSCE • Dedicated EHR curriculum • Meet with your CIO
